“The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission is offering four outdoors programs in February at the Pisgah Center for Wildlife Education in Transylvania County.
The events, which are free, are open on a first-come, first-serve basis and pre-registration is required.
* Feb. 4 – Leader Building from 9 a.m. to noon. Open to participants 12 and older. One often overlooked aspect of fly fishing is the leader. This workshop covers why different leaders make fly fishing more effective. Participants will construct their own leaders -both furled and hand-tied.
* Feb. 5 – Fly Section 101 from 9 a.m. to noon. Open to participants 12 and older. Participants will spend the morning with Pisgah Center staff learning the basics of various fly patterns, including when and how to use them. Discussions will include nymph, emerger, dry fly and terrestrial flies.
* Feb. 17 – Fly Tying for the Beginner from 9 a.m. to noon. Open to participants 12 and older. Participants will learn the basics of fly tying during this introductory level class. They will work at their own pace to tie a basic pattern. Equipment and materials will be provided.
* Feb 19 – Advanced Fly Tying: Tying Nymphs from 9 a.m. to noon. Open to participants 12 and older. Nymph fishing is an effective tactic when there are no fish rising and is one of the most common fly-fishing techniques used today. This course will teach participants how to tie a variety of mayfly, caddis and stonefly patterns for subsurface fishing techniques.
The Pisgah Center for Wildlife Education is located near Brevard, just south of Asheville, by the Davidson River in Transylvania County. The center features nature trails and five large aquariums representing aquatic mountain habitats. The center is adjacent to the Bobby N. Setzer State Fish Hatchery, where trout are raised in 54 raceways. The center is open Monday through Friday from December through March and Monday through Saturday from April through November. Hours are 8 a.m. to 4:45 p.m.

“Crafty Historian events are held on the third Saturday of most months from 10:30 to 12:30.
Reservations are required by Thursday prior to the event so that we will have enough supplies for everyone.
Each event includes an educational, art-focused activity that stimulates creativity and interest in traditional crafts.
Children 9 and older are welcome to attend without a parent (although parents are most welcome to stay and assist), and younger children must have an adult to help them.
There is a minimal charge for each program based on the type of craft for the day. These events are wonderful opportunities for both parents/grandparents and children to experience history in a fun and interactive way. “
Oct 19th: Paper Quilling … Come join the Crafty Historian and try your hand at paper quilling. Quilling is the art of curling strips of paper into interesting designs. The craft got its name from from the way paper strips were curled around bird quills (a feather’s center backbone). Colonial artists decorated candle holders and tea trays with pretty quilling.We will practice with strips of paper and then create a work of art! Best for ages 8 and up. The craft requires working with small pieces and glue. Limit of 12 participants. $5 per participant.
.
Nov 16th: A Crafts Hodge-Podge … A hodge-podge is defined as a mixture of different things. It’s time to use up lots of leftover craft supplies and this sounds like just the thing. Some crafts I have all the supplies for many things, but crafters are welcome to bring things that you want decorated with beads, sequins or decoupage. Be prepared for a bit of confusion with lots of things going on, but it will be LOTS of fun!! This might be the last Crafty Historian since our resident Crafty Historian will be resigning as of Nov 30 – so if you’ve been a fan of these events, this is not one you want to miss! Only $5 per crafter!
This is the return of our popular Victorian Tea Party for girls and moms/grands/dads. For children (must be accompanied by adult). Includes beautiful afternoon tea menu, Victorian manners program and Victorian Valentine activity. Come in your “Sunday best”. Victorian style dolls are most welcome!
This is a “Sunday-best” dressy affair with full tea, manners lesson and a Valentine craft.
Limit to 24 participants. Reservations required. Deadline for reservations is Feb. 7.
“The Brevard College Theatre Program is proud to present the Pulitzer Prize-winning play, “Crimes of the Heart,” February 11 – 14 in the Porter Center for the Performing Arts’ Morrison Playhouse at Brevard College. Guest Artist Catherine Barricklow will direct.
This Southern comedy is the perfect Valentine’s weekend entertainment: the play is a hysterical roller-coaster ride through the reality of family, relationships, loss and longing.
Set in Mississippi in 1974, “Crimes of the Heart” is a tale of three sisters at a time of family crisis: Babe, the youngest sister is in jail after shooting her husband in the stomach. Lenny, theoldest, finds herself the lonely caretaker of an aging patriarch. And Meg, a would-be singer, wrestles with a failing career and desires to rekindle things with an old beau.
The family’s troubles are grave, serious – their trauma runs deep, and yet their means of coping are somehow hilarious, absurd, and undeniably familiar.
The cast includes Brevard College students Lily Bartleson, Hannah Leonard, Sarah Haga, Garrett Rhodes, Alex Webster, and Josh Goldstein. Scenic and lighting design by Andrea Boccanfuso, costumes by Ida Bostian, sound design by Brandon Smith, all Brevard College Theatre faculty.
Show Times

ASHEVILLE, NC — October 5, 2017 — The second annual Jam In The Trees, held Friday, August 25, and Saturday, August 26, 2017, donated $2,500 to the non-profit Wild Forests and Fauna. The two-day Americana music festival took place at Pisgah Brewing Company in Black Mountain, North Carolina, and featured 14 bands on both an outdoor and indoor stage. This is the second year thatJam In The Trees has donated a portion of proceeds to Wild Forests and Fauna (WildFF), who work with local communities in different forests around the world, striving to protect nature for future generations. The festival was also nominated this year for IBMA’s prestigious Momentum Award. JamIn The Trees will return to Pisgah Brewing Company for it’s third year, on August 24th and 25th,2018.
This year’s event featured the Larry Keel Experience as Friday night’s headliner and Saturday’s headliner, The Infamous Stringdusters, as well as an “After Hours Jam” hosted by Jim Lauderdale, Frank Solivan & Dirty Kitchen, with other special guests. Other performances included Acoustic Syndicate, Peter Rowan, Tim O’Brien & Jan Fabricius, Jeffrey Foucault, Front Country, Eilen Jewell, Underhill Rose, Ken Tizzard, Zoe & Cloyd, and Cicada Rhythm. Jam In The Trees strategically schedules band so that there are no overlapping sets.
In addition to music on two stages and award-winning Pisgah beer, food trucks were present on-site as well as unique vendors and local artisans. While Friday night’s taproom events are 18 and up, Saturday’s festivities are family friendly. Entrance is free for kids under 12 (with a paying adult) and festival goers may bring their own lawn chair. Attendees could also purchase VIP tickets for Saturday’s events, which offered intimate meet & greets with multiple artists. The events included Popcorn with Peter Rowan, a Jim Lauderdale Picnic Party, and Biscuits with O’Brien (Tim & Jan); each event was thoughtfully paired with a Pisgah beer and followed by a brewery tour. Jam In The Trees also partnered with Asheville Brews Cruise to offer a complimentary shuttle service between the brewery and downtown Asheville, nearby hotels, and select campgrounds.
About Wild Forests and Fauna:
Laurel York, a lifelong resident of Asheville and President of Jam In The Trees, LLC, helped bring theidea for the event to fruition during a visit with friends from Asheville and Canada who dubbed Pisgah Brewing as a “perfect location” and felt it would attract people from all over with the right musical lineup. That started the ball rolling toward creating an event that would be a celebration of authentic Roots Music, community, and philanthropy (a portion of the proceeds will go to a local not-for-profit, Wild Forests & Fauna (WildFF), in what York proclaims as one of the area’s “finest outdoor music venues”.
“Jam In The Trees is shining a bright light bringing our community together in support of the Big Tree Project which focuses on the biggest, baddest trees in Western NC and beyond, that generate themost benefits to surrounding ecosystems and biodiversity,” says Benjamin Colvin, Executive Director WildFF, “We all want people to go outside, get connected, get lost a little, and ACT to protect our forests for future generations!”
Jam In The Trees ’17 was sponsored by Prestige Subaru and Mosaic Lifestyle Realty.
